​The Nipissing Lakers Nordic team had a
breakthrough day in the individual classic race with its first gold medal at
the CCUNC National Ski Championships.
Team skier Kajsa Heyes stomped the competition, winning in convincing
fashion with a 6.9 second lead on second place over the 1.5km course.

Heyes was followed by Lakehead skiers
Alannah Maclean and Camille Hamm. In the heats Heyes advanced through to the
B-final, narrowly missing the A-final by 0.2 seconds at the line. The win
earned Heyes a tie for first place aggregate with Lakehead’s Alannah Maclean
for overall CCUNC National Champion.

What was most impressive about the win on
the varsity side was that her time in the sprint qualifier put her in 5th place
among Canadian women overall, out front of National Team skiers and Olympians,
demonstrating that varsity-athletics is a viable pathway to excellence in the
sport of cross-country skiing.

The Lakers team put all of its woman
through to the heats with top-30 finishes in the qualifier, with Shelby Dickey
placing 7th among varsity women, 16th senior woman, new team addition Lindsay
Inkila 11th varsity, 20th senior woman, Carina Eberhardt 19th varsity, 29th
senior woman, for strong representation by the team as a whole.

On the men’s side Thomsen D’Hont carried on
with his strong showing at Nationals, with a 6th place varsity, 20th place
senior qualifying time of 3.49 over the 1.6km course, 8.995 seconds back of
first place qualifier Hakon Hjelstuen of Michigan Tech University.

Teammate Jordan Cascagnette skied with
energy levels more on par with his potential, though suffering from a fall on a
technical downhill that put him out of contention for the heats, hungry for
more in future races.

“This is a proud climax to the 2015 varsity
ski season, with triple National Championship medals, gold, silver and bronze
for one of our skiers and depth developing on the team,” said Lakers Nordic
head coach Dr. Toivo Koivukoski. “Our results have underlined the significance
of varsity athletics within the Canadian ski system, demonstrating the standout
qualities of Nipissing University as the place to ski and study in Canada.”

The team has a rest and then a training day
for the last races of the Championships, the long distance 30km and 50 km races
that will cap off the ski race season.
